Uberti has said this: "Our '76 is good with any powder/bullet combo that the pressure does not exceed 28,000 CUP."
From my research the thing that made Winhester's "toggle link" action weak wasn't the type of systme, but rather the metal back...

Lee molds can vary, especially the pre-2013 two cavity molds. Lee changed how they cut their 2 cav molds in 2013 and I haven't seen or heard of much "out of spec" since then. But even so, that is quite a bit "out of spec". I did this comparison...

There are two things that I think it could be.
1. If a die is clean, so clean there is no lube residue, then a clean boolit that hasn't been pre-lubed, will stick in the die. But you said, "Bullets are well lubed", if that means what I think it...

Old Speer #9 manual says 7.3 grs for a 200 grain jacked hollow point. I've shot quite a few 7.0 grains with the Lyman 225 grain round nose and it wasn't all that hot. Even shot it over the years that Alliant changed the powder some and it's still...

Lap that section through the frame out Newton. You take an old bore brush and push it in the muzzle end of the barrel so it's just barely below the muzzle end after you had put a plug in first say make from tin foil or something that won't let the...

While I can't speak for gunsmiths, I'd much rather have a gemstone cut by a talented hobbyist than a commercial or professional. I dare you to find fault with any stone I've cut but can find faults in all "professional" cuts. They can't take the...

These mini loaf pans were the heavier aluminum (not the thin disposable) and at the time I never gave thought to them not being capeable of handeling the heat and weight. They were just another mold size to add to my arsonal of ingot molds. The...

LG
No I'm not heated at all, no problem there. I actually laughed.
So let me clarify my point you speak of. Not for one second am I saying that Dacron isn't a good filler because it is. We're talking about the "whys" it does what it does and...

I use H4895, there is a narrow window where the action begins to reliably cycle, but then much faster and you start to lose accuracy.
With my boolits it was around 17 to 18 gr.
FYI, I use the Lee FCD, and put a pretty solid crimp on it.
